My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 176: I have shown my cards, my strategy is betrayal of the country!
Recalling the entire process of the battle to destroy Korea, Zhao Wangyan nodded in agreement: "What General Li said makes sense!"

Human beings are preconception animals.

After knowing that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu cooperated to destroy South Korea by attacking in the east and attacking in the west, Zhao Wangyan subconsciously thought that the Ying brothers might use similar tactics again.

Guo Kai also nodded in agreement: "I also agree that both King Qin and Lord Qin Chang'an are cunning villains."

"The strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west must be guarded against!"

"But how did General Li know that General Li's ideas had not been expected by the King of Qin?"

"Perhaps it was because he guessed that General Li would be worried about Qin's attack on the east and west, and then advised the king to send less troops to assist Wei."

"The King of Qin just dared to send troops to attack Wei!"

Li Mu was speechless.

This general knew the King of Qin's plan, so he advised not to rescue Wei.

The King of Qin knew that this general knew about the King of Qin's plan, so he attacked Wei.

You are here with a matryoshka doll!
How to answer this?

After winning the victory on the scene, Guo Kai spoke seriously: "Even though I knew that Qin Wangzheng and Chang'an Jun were both cunning villains, I didn't say anything because if I dig deeper into this matter, I will be in the same dilemma as General Li. "

"But I understand one thing. If Qin attacks Wei, I, Zhao, will rescue Wei."

"But if Qin attacks Zhao, Wei will not be willing to rescue Zhao."

"Therefore, regardless of whether Qin is attacking in the east or in the west, Zhao must act as if Qin is going to attack Wei with all its strength."

"On the premise of protecting Handan, we hoarded heavy troops in Wei, and raised troops in Wei to attack Qin's Yingchuan County, forcing Qin to use Yingchuan County and Wei as battlefields."

"This will completely draw Wei into the war!"

"This is our great Zhao Yingxing's conspiracy!"

Facing Guo Kai's advice to close the loop of logic, Li Mu didn't know where to break the situation, so he could only hand over his advice: "I would like to advise you, even if you are rescuing the Wei State, you should not send so many troops and horses to protect the territory of Zhao. It’s a top priority!”

Li Mu couldn't speak, but Li Mu's words touched Zhao Wangyan's heart.

The future is too far away and no one can imagine it.

But you can see what's happening right under your nose.

Preserving the current territory is the first goal that Zhao Wangyan needs to achieve.

As for Zhao’s future dilemma?

You can rely on the wisdom of future generations!
After pondering for a while, King Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "We will discuss this matter later and withdraw from the court!"

Looking at Zhao Wangyan who stood up and left, Li Mu shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!"

However, before Li Mu could say anything, Hu Zou grabbed Li Mu's arm and shook his head: "Let's stop here."

"If I continue to remonstrate, I will inevitably anger the king."

Li Mu said decisively: "But Prime Minister Guo's advice is too ridiculous!"

"The king should refute it immediately, how can he put this matter on hold for later discussion?"

Seeing Li Mu's angry look, Hu Zou sighed softly: "You are calm and collected on the battlefield, but how come you have become more irritable after returning to the court for many years?"

"It is right to dare to speak up and tell the king what we are thinking."

"But the king is a king, and the ministers are ministers. The king's will has been decided. How can we, as ministers, force the king to change his mind?"

"Remonstrating once is already a sign of loyalty. No matter what the king orders in the end, we will all respect the king's order and act accordingly."

Hu Noi's words were heartfelt.

On the battlefield, Li Mu is calm, wise and courageous, and is a nightmare for his enemies.

But Li Mu, who was above the court, was too fiery. He even angrily scolded King Zhao Yan in the main hall for why he wanted to find a prostitute to be his queen.

What does the changing of the king and the queen have to do with our generals?
Not to mention that the king found a prostitute to be the queen, so what if the king found a seventy-year-old man to be the queen!

Is there any room for you and me to comment?
Hu Zou could see Li Mu's military talents, but he really didn't want to lose such a great talent to the court!

Li Mu said bitterly: "It's just because I can't stand this court!"

"Since you can't stand it, the general will tell you!"

Hu Le angrily scolded: "Are those words what you should say?"

Li Mu raised his head and looked at Hu Zhe: "It is precisely because no one in the court speaks, that the soldiers at the border are so miserable, and that is why our great Zhao is declining day by day."

"If the last general is stationed in the northern border, he will guard the country for our great Zhao Rong."

"Since the general is now standing in the court, he should complain about all the injustices!"

Li Mu's heart was full of hatred for the princes in the court.

Li Mu doesn't even want to be a yes man like the princes in the court!

Hu He shouted in a deep voice: "Then you will definitely follow in the footsteps of Lord Xinping (Lian Po)!"

Are you risking your own prosperity and wealth for the future of Zhao?

Give me a break!

Ever since Lian Po was dismissed, there have been no such stupid generals in Zhao!

Li Mu grinned: "If you can become a person like Xinping-kun, you will be lucky for the rest of your life!"

Seeing the smile on Li Mu's face, Hu Le shook his head suddenly: "It's hopeless!"

Swinging his sleeves, he strode out of the court.

Li Mu turned around and asked loudly: "Does General Hu want to watch the king be deceived by Guo Kai's wrong advice?"

Hu Zou did not answer, but left the court a little faster.

Right or wrong, does it matter?

So what if Guo made a mistake!
This Zhao State is the Zhao State of King Zhao, not yours or mine!

The smile on Li Mu's face slowly disappeared, and he looked helplessly to the left and right, but only saw his colleagues who were avoiding him like a plague god.He was clearly a fierce general who made Dong Hu afraid to go south for ten years.

But when he stood in the court, he looked like a lonely, helpless and bad-tempered child!
……

The Imperial Study Room of Handan Palace.

The five stoves send out billowing heat waves, making the temperature in the room far higher than outside.

But Zhao Wangyan, who was lying on the knee pillow of a beautiful palace maid with his feet in the arms of another palace maid, still couldn't stop coughing.

The door of the royal study room was pushed open, and the cold wind of early November rushed in along the door, making King Zhao shiver in the cold.

As fast as lightning, Guo Kai quickly closed the door and walked quickly to Zhao Wangyan: "Is the king feeling better today?"

"Ahem~" Zhao Wangyan coughed twice more and waved to another palace maid, who quickly walked to Zhao Wangyan's side.

Regardless of Guo Kai's presence, the palace maid untied her clothes without hesitation and lay on top of Zhao Wang Yan.

Feeling the warmth provided by the palace maid, Zhao Wangyan opened another drawer, took out an elixir and put it into his mouth.

Guo Kai immediately offered the warm water that had been placed on the fire to Zhao Wangyan with both hands.

After taking the elixir with warm water, King Zhao Yan sighed with satisfaction.

"Huh~" Zhao Wangyan turned his eyes to Guo Kai: "Is this person feeling better? Mr. Guo doesn't know?"

Guo Kai smiled bitterly and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."

"I know that the king must be dissatisfied with me because I sent heavy troops to rescue the state of Wei."

From the moment Zhao Wangyan suddenly chose to stop the court meeting, Guo Kai knew that Zhao Wangyan must have been aware of the problem with Guo Kaizhi's advice.

In order to maintain Zhao Wangyan's trust, Guo Kai must completely eliminate the doubts and dissatisfaction in Zhao Wangyan's heart as soon as possible!

Zhao Wangyan adjusted his posture and asked in a deep voice: "Give me a reason."

"I am waiting for you to convince me."

The friendship between Zhao Wangyan and Guo Kai is unmatched by others.

Therefore, even though Zhao Wangyan had made his own decision in the court, Zhao Wangyan did not directly express his decision in the court meeting.

Zhao Wangyan did not want the courtiers to think that Guo Kai had lost favor, and even argued with Guo Kai in front of the courtiers!

For this reason, Zhao Wangyan specifically ended the court meeting and called Guo Kai to the imperial study to inquire about the reason.

Under Zhao Wangyan's expectant gaze, Guo Kai said in a deep voice: "The Qin State sent travelers to bribe the ministers with large sums of money."

"Please advise the king to send heavy troops to rescue Wei!"

King Zhao nodded slightly: "The reason why I love you is...(°Д°)what?"

Zhao Wangyan looked at Guo Kai dumbfounded and disbelieving: "Because Qin State bribed you with a lot of money, so you persuaded a few people to send heavy troops to rescue Wei State?"

Zhao Wangyan was furious!
These days, people who have been corrupted and betrayed Zhao are not going behind the back of others!

Guo Kai said calmly: "Of course!"

"Sending heavy troops to rescue Wei is the result Qin wants."

"The advice I gave to the court are all traitorous remarks!"

Zhao Wangyan stood up directly, drew his long sword on the wall, and shouted angrily: "I trust you more than I do."

"Why did you betray Da Zhao!"

Guo Kai shouted firmly: "I may betray Zhao, but I will not betray the king."

"The king's kindness will never be repaid by my own death!"

"It's just some gold and silver. Why would I betray the king for it?"

Guo Kai looked at Zhao Wangyan with loyal eyes and explained sincerely: "If Qin really wanted to attack Wei, then why did Qin bribe its ministers with large sums of money to persuade the king to send as many troops as possible to rescue Wei? "

"The Qin State should have ordered its ministers to advise the king to send less reinforcements!"

"Because of Qin's bribery, I actually understood Qin's true purpose of this war."

"This battle between Qin and Qin is just like Qin's battle last year."

"It's clearly meant to attack Wei, but actually it's coming to attack me, Great Zhao!"

Seeing Guo Kai's sincere look, the anger in Zhao Wangyan's heart gradually subsided.

Returning the sword to its sheath, Zhao Wangyan lay back on the palace maid again and asked in a deep voice: "So Aiqing will just follow her plan?"

Guo Kai nodded in agreement: "So I will follow my plan."

"Obviously, our great Zhao follows Qin's policy and sends heavy troops to assist Wei."

"This will allow Qin to march on Wei first according to the original plan and force Wei to join the war."

"But in fact, except for the 20 soldiers and horses, the remaining [-] troops are hoarded at the border. The furthest distance is only two days to Handan."

"Once the main force of the Qin army enters the territory of the Zhao State, the main force of our Zhao State can return to the rescue in an instant, and draw the Wei State to help us, the Great Zhao State, resist the Qin State!"

King Zhao rubbed his chin, his eyes shining: "This strategy is wonderful!"

Sitting up, Zhao Wangyan personally poured a cup of hot wine for Guo Kai: "I have misunderstood you."

Guo Kai hurriedly thanked him: "This contribution is just my job."

"But the traveler from Qin State came in a hurry, and I failed to inform the king in advance of the reason, which caused the king to worry. It is my fault!"

Zhao Wangyan smiled: "You and I, the monarch and our ministers, have their own trust, so what if it's earlier or later?"

"That being the case, it's decided to help Wei."

"Who do you think, Ai Qing, is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of this army?"

Guo Kai immediately spoke: "I advise you that Hu Zhe should be the main general, as for the deputy general?"

"How is Li Mu?"
